Our Euclid Mathemagicians

On Tuesday April 12th, nineteen of our Grade 12 mathematicians wrote the University of Waterloo’s Euclid Math Contest: www.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/contests/euclid.html. The test is composed of 10 questions and challenges senior high school students from across the country. Strong contest results grant students enriched course selection at several universities.

To test your mettle against the Euclid, please send your answer to the following question to Mr. Wardrop at harold.wardrop@brentwood.bc.ca

Determine all values of x for which 2^log_10⁡(x^2 ) =3(2^(1+log_10⁡x ) )+16.
